The regional Una Voce affiliate in Baltimore, "The Gregorian Society," has a website entitled " Ad Altare Dei ." It is listed in the right menu under "The Gregorian Society of Baltimore." I was contacted by a colleague from the Society who reminded me that the Society is hoping to spread the TLM to other locations in the metro region. One such area is Westminster, and there are other locations that have a keen interest. If you wish to "sign up" to show support for this effort , please sign their list form. I am sure they will contact you by email. The form is linked from their website . Ad maiorem Dei gloriam+

Fr. John Zuhlsdorf catechizes all of us when he reminds us that funerals involve praying for the dead . Please read his post today. It clears up many misconceptions that have crept into our consciousness. Also, Fisheaters has a list of prayers that are appropriate . The days when priests would say as many Masses as possible on All Souls Day are long gone. I recall when all three altars--yes, we had three--were being used to say Mass for the souls in Purgatory.
